Leaving the Air Force recently after 10 years, Brent Meyers now is trying to do something to help service members.
On Saturday, Nov. 8, he was selling “Combat Corn,” a kind of kettle corn, at the Wyandotte County Veterans Day commemoration event at the Salvation Army Harbor Light Village in Kansas City, Kan.
“The idea behind it is to give back,” Meyers said. “The idea is to give bags year-round to the down-range guys.”
Meyers was a technical sergeant who saw overseas duty in combat areas. He was sent to Iraq once and to Afghanistan three times.
He left military service Sept. 1, and will be spending much more time with his wife and three children, he said. He added he has a home-based business; his wife is an event planner. Already he has made appearances at several community events.
His “Combat Corn” product, “Kettle for a Cause,” is donating some of the proceeds to the USO, he said.
